Reyna Cruz:

“Reyna! You look great. Stop Stressing out so much, Polline slapped her forehead when I changed my outfit for the fifth time. I didn’t want to leave any room for criticism, so I tried on the designer clothes I owned, making sure to choose the most expensive one.

I was currently wearing a grey dress with a diamond necklace. I had half of my hair tied in a clip, letting the rest flow freely.

“Are you sure I look good?” I asked her, staring at my reflection in the mirror and taking deep breaths. I didn’t expect to be this nervous.

“Reyna! I’m sure everyone will have to turn their heads at least once to acknowledge you,” she held my hand to stop me from continuously checking my hair and makeup.

“You look amazing. Don’t be nervous. You’re not going there to compete with someone or impress someone. You’re attending this party to show him that you’ve moved on, that seeing that woman in your place doesn’t bother you anymore,” she gently patted my cheek and then stepped back, “In fact, I’d say you should flirt with someone while you’re there. Ruin Hunter’s mood and party. Play the reverse card,” she made me laugh.

“He doesn’t care about me, I replied as I happily grabbed my purse. Polline was right; I looked fine.

“You know what? You’ll see it one day too, I didn’t understand why Polline was so confident that Hunter hadn’t moved on, because he surely had moved on a long time ago.

As I left the room to say goodbye to Turner, I was shocked to see him standing in the way with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Why can’t I go?” Turner complained once again. We had a whole conversation about it, but he wasn’t finished with the topic. “Because it’s a grown–up’s party, I tried to avert my eyes from him. I would love to take my son everywhere with me, but sadly, this party was not the right place for him.

“It’s a birthday party. Birthday parties have cakes and fun games, he sighed, rolling his adorable eyes at me.

“My sweet little prince, but this party is for adults. I promise to take you out some other day.” I wasn’t lying. I was planning a picnic with him, but in the rogue land, we couldn’t do much. The whole area was filled with eccentric people. There was one park where we could go.

“No! I want to come with you,‘ suddenly, Turner shook his head and made a decision against my choice. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Turner, don’t spoil your mother’s mood,” Polline tried to make him understand, but he stubbornly shook his head and pulled his hand away from hers.

“You’ve changed a lot, Mommy. You don’t take me anywhere with you. It’s like you just want to party alone with your new friends, his lips quivered, something I didn’t want to see before leaving.

“Don’t do- Polline was interrupted when Turner turned to face her.

“It’s true. Before this job, I used to be herfriend. She used to take us everywhere with her, but now she just leaves us at home. She’s embarrassed of me, every word he spoke with a little silent whimper from his lips made my heart sink in my chest.

“Hey!” Before I could reach for his arm, he darted into his room and gently closed the door. Even when he was angry, he made sure not to cross the limits. I didn’t mind him expressing his emotions; I would never force my child to act happy when he was not

“I’ll talk to him. You go, you’re getting late,” Polline reassured me, but I was just staring into space.

“No, I’ll take him with me,” I decided.

“What?” Polline expressed her shock, and I felt the need to explain my decision to her.

“I’ve taught him to show his emotions and never hide his feelings from me. I didn’t do it so I can have information on him. I taught him so he can share his worries with me, and I can help him feel better. There’s no way I’m leaving this house without him tonight. How can I enjoy this party knowing he’s hurt and crying at home?” I shrugged, no longer concerned about anyone seeing my son.

“I don’t care about Hunter and the others anymore. It’s not like I was the one who cheated, I added, watching Polline with a proud smile on her lips,

Before long, I made my way to my son’s room, and without saying a word to him, I picked out a pair of jeans and a blue shirt for him. He lay in his bed, watching me make the preparations.

“Come on, get ready. I’m taking my friend with me,” I smiled through teary eyes. He was right; I needed to take him with. me, or I’d be too lonely.

“Really?” he jumped out of his bed and wrapped his tiny arms around my legs, hugging me and thanking me.

It didn’t take him much time to get ready for the evening. We said our goodbyes to Polline, and soon we were on our way to

pack once again

the

“I’ve never seen a pack before, Turner excitedly held onto my arm as our car passed the main gate after showing them the invitation card.

I began to feel teary–eyed as we approached the gate. I remembered this gate very well. Hunter had dragged me all the way to the gate on foot and kicked me out of here. The gate closed behind me, leaving me all alone in the wild while I was pregnant

“Mom! Are you okay?” my little savior noticed the tears in my eyes. He instantly rose to his knees on the backseat of the car with me and cupped my face in his tiny hands.

“Don’t ruin the makeup,” he advised, gently wiping away my tears and kissing my cheek.

“I’m with you,” for some reason, the way he hugged me and said those words felt strange. It was as if he knew everything, but I knew for a fact that he didn’t.

Soon, we arrived at the pack house, and I was stunned to see the size of the party he was throwing. It was as if a whole galaxy had gathered just to wish Tara a happy birthday.

I held Turner’s hand and made my way into the mansion. My heart was pounding with every step I took. So much had changed in the mansion. The decor was all new, and the party arrangements made it look even more different.

I took a deep breath and looked around for the couple; I found them standing together among a group of elders and other rocked the grey suit. The two of them were smiling a lot and even

pack alphas. She looked stunning in a white dress, and h

holding hands when standing together.

I took one last deep breath before I held Turner’s hand and walked up to the couple. I couldn’t tell if it was just in my head or if some people were looking at me and whispering to each other. Perhaps they recognized me.

“Happy birthday,” I said in a loud voice/As soon as I spoke, Tara stopped talking to the others and turned to face me. The smile on her face disappeared before she forced one.

“Thank you,” she replied dryly. Hunter had his head tilted with a smirk on his lips, as if he was enjoying the scene way too much.

As soon as I handed her the gift, she chuckled in a taunting way.

“Maid! Grab the gift,” she called for the maid before returning her attention to me. “You didn’t have to bring me anything. I mean, I know you live among the rogues, so what could you possibly bring me anyway?”

Her comment made the elders chuckle softly. So, I guessed they did recognize me.

“That’s not a very humble thing to say. A gift doesn’t represent someone’s wealth. It’s a gesture of affection or appreciation fron someone” to my surprise, my son spoke up against my bully.
